    And to top it off, YT Music stopped working for me, and has done the same for many others on some accounts (the revanced team thinks it’s a/b testing from google).

    I guess it’s time to update my local music collection.

    I wouldn’t expect Spotify to just let people use premium services for free. Fuck Spotify, right there with y’all on that, but this isn’t egregious or unethical behavior for them.

    Use Spotify since it has a free tier, for music discovery if you like, but get FLACs and self host. I like Plex for that and it works with what I use.

    Music is actually one thing I will always pay for. I use Apple Music because they pay artists more and they offer better quality. And they don’t care, if you’re on a family plan, if not all your family lives with you. I also self host because backups are nice and I can’t access Apple Music at work. I can, however, access Plex. (It’s not that Apple is blocked. It’s that Apple requires 2FA and I can’t bring my iPhone into work.) But, point is either way, self host and stream everywhere. Sucks that Plex went up; I got Lifetime for $80 years ago. (Now it’s $250.)

      If taking down other peoples’ work on fake and easily abusable DMCA grounds “isn’t egregious or unethical behavior”, your opinion worth less than the dogshit it was written in

        Okay, so aside from the fact that you’re stalking me across communities for whatever reason — if I write a loophole in your employer’s code, like a patch, that keeps them from having to pay you, and they like not having to pay you, I haven’t done anything egregious or unethical? Or it’s only egregious or unethical because it’s happening to a company you don’t like?

        If the law doesn’t apply without prejudice blindly and equally for all, what good is it? And who decides who is deserving? Some pathetic Internet stalker? So given your lack of ethics, would you then agree it would be fair to take your wages as well? Or do you draw the line between companies and people, or how much someone makes? Because we might find some common ground there. But on the surface, it appears you are the one throwing dog shit from that which is covering you.

            And yet, you posted two comments to me, on two different communities, on two different instances, completely hostile in both of them.

            You should get help. I can only imagine what you’re like in real life. Either you’re very meek when you’re not behind a keyboard, people walk all over you so you bully people online, or you’re exactly the same in real life and you hurt people around you. Maybe that’s not the kind of person you want to be, either way. If I’m wrong and it is, nothing I say will convince you otherwise. But on the off chance there’s any decency in you, take your own advice and talk to somebody.

              I think you’re letting your imagination get the better of you to protect your ego from self-reflection. All I said was your opinion was dogshit, and it remains so. No amount of fiction about me will change that

      Does it have a phone app that also lets you search for and add new music on the go? I’m trying to get my wife off Spot but she refuses without this ability.

            If you are too young to have lived through the napster revolution it’s very much a throwback to that kind of sharing so you get to experience p2p like it’s the late 90s only with good network speeds. For an authentic experience limit your download to 56k.

      I’m going to try this. For what ever reason I can’t use music files for Jellyfin and I basically gave up on it.

          Have zero problems with Jellyfin as the Server, Symfonium as the client on mobile / music assistant for streaming to sonos at home

              Sorry, but the person above made a blanket statement that Jellyfin sucks for music streaming.

              Alas, it does not; example: me, guffaw

                It’s true, you’ve changed my opinion! All those people upvoting the other post and not yours must be misclicking! It’s a shame the brightest of us will never burn at dinner time…

    I want to get rid of my Spotify because the apps suck baaaadly. However, I have about 6000 something liked songs

    How would I go about getting those off of Spotify and do some self hosting?

      So if I’m not mistaken the route I took was to import my Spotify library to Lidarr > Let it freely torrent/download in the background (this can take a long time especially if what you’re torrenting isn’t very popular!) > setup the Spotify Import plugin for Jellyfin and let that automatically make your playlist an such however, in my experience this worked well for maybe 40% of my playlists (roughly 800 rap songs + 200 rock/metal) and the rest I downloaded with ytdlp and manually added in to my library, which sucked because it was so tedious but once I got it done I never had to do it again.

      I got about 15k songs in my library all together but only listen to my playlists.
